Question
Sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes by the process of?
Mitosis
Meiosis
Cytokinesis
Cell division
Mitosis
Meiosis
Cytokinesis
Cell division
Hint:
The gametes in humans are formed by this process.
The correct answer is: Meiosis
- Derived from the Greek melon, meaning "to make smaller," meiosis refers to the specialized process by which gametes divide to produce gametes.
- Since the chromosome number of a species remains the same across generations, the germ cell chromosome number must be halved during meiosis.

Hemophilia disease is produced in the male by how many gene/s?
- Genetic disorders can be chromosomal, multifactorial and monogenic
- Hemophilia is a blood disorder that delays blood clotting or hemostasis
- Blood clotting is a result of cascade of reactions done by clotting factors (1 to 12)
- Absence of clotting factor VIII or IX causes hemophilia
- Gene (F8 or F9) responsible for hemophilia is present in X chromosome

How do genetic disorders happen?
- Genetic disorder is due to alteration in gene sequence
- The gene sequence change can occur in a cell irrespective of type of cell division a cell undergoes
- Mutation can occur at any point of cell division
- Trisomy can be attributed as a result of meiosis
